Bring the Magic of Dance to Every Child

With your help, programs like DanceAIR bring professional dance training and performance opportunities to students in New Haven Public Schools—many of whom would not otherwise have access to high-quality arts education.
DanceAIR in Action
Every week, students experience the joy, discipline, and confidence that dance inspires. They perform on stage, learn from professional artists, and gain skills that extend far beyond the studio.

Where Little Feet Take Big Steps
At New Haven Ballet, we begin training with our gentle approach syllabus, designed to introduce our youngest dancers to the joys of music and movement. Classes are filled with laughter and held in spacious, sunny studios, guided by the region’s finest instructors.
Each Children’s Division class follows a carefully crafted syllabus that uses age-appropriate exercises and stretches to gently introduce students to classical dance and musical fundamentals. Over time, dancers build the skills and discipline needed to transition confidently into the graded curriculum.
Fall 2025 registration is open. Click Here to learn more.
Excellence in Ballet Education (Ages 8–19)
New Haven Ballet’s Student Division proudly offers developing dancers the highest caliber of classical ballet training in the region, including pointe, partnering, and repertory classes. This core training is enriched by a diverse range of workshops and classes — from classical and Neo-classical to contemporary, lyrical, and Broadway styles — along with carefully designed conditioning and stretch sessions to support strength and flexibility.
